Planning Before Installing
This chapter provides information that must be considered when planning a
GV3000/SE drive installation. Installation site requirements, drive requirements,
and wiring requirements are presented.
ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards involved
should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and
understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: When the level-sense start feature is enabled (P.054 =
ON), the user must ensure that automatic start up of the driven
equipment will not cause injury to operating personnel or damage to
the driven equipment. In addition, the user is responsible for providing
suitable audible or visual alarms or other devices to indicate that this
function is enabled and the drive may start at any moment. Refer to
the GV3000/SE Software Start-Up and Reference manual for
additional information. Failure to observe this precaution could result
in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Use of power correction capacitors on the output of the
drive can result in erratic operation of the motor, nuisance tripping,
and/or permanent damage to the drive. Remove power correction
capacitors before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all applicable
local, national, and international codes. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
3.1 Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to properly plan before installing a GV3000/SE drive to ensure that the
drive's environment and operating conditions are satisfactory. Note that no devices are
to be mounted behind the drive. This area must be kept clear of all control and power
wiring. Read the following recommendations before continuing with drive installation.
3.1.1 Making Sure Environmental Conditions are Met
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
• Verify that drives can be kept clean, cool, and dry.
• The area chosen should allow the space required for proper air flow as defined
in section 3.1.3.
